Description of problem: Updating to xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.3.2-1.fc9.x86_64 in updates-testing fails to install because the %pre script continually fails. It tries to replace 'i810' with 'intel' in /etc/xorg.conf, but fails completely if it doesn't match. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.3.2-1.fc9.x86_64 from xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.2.1-24.fc9.x86_64 Additional info: Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction sed: -e expression #1, char 41: invalid reference \1 on `s' command's RHS error: %pre(xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.3.2-1.fc9.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.3.2-1.fc9
I am hit by this one too. I guess it's caused by this change * Tue May 27 2008 Adam Jackson <ajax> 2.2.1-25 - s/i810/intel/ in xorg.conf in %%pre so we can eventuall stop installing the BC symlink. which was useful for version prio 2.2.1-24 but it might cause the fail.
Release -2 fixes this issue. New version was successfully installed.
